They did great work. There were a couple things that came up after they said the repair was done that needed attention. I don’t believe they were their fault but they made me feel like a bother or that my concern was no big deal. Had I kept driving my van after the leak I could have done major front end damage because there was in fact a front axel leak.

Satisfied with the repair work but I was told the job would take a few days and then was told it would it would be at a later date yet and when I checked on that date, it still wasn't ready. My vehicle was there 2 weeks.

Did not start until a week after you said you would. I would have preferred to us my car for the extra week if you were not ready for it. The results look great though.

Lack of communication and length of repair would have me leery of recommending anyone.

The misplaced the insurance paperwork and I had to pay the entire bill to get my car back. I am still waiting for a reimbursement.

Initial quote was underestimated and not honored. Repair time was almost 6 weeks. Repair in general was subpar.

Customer Service

Initial estimate was 50% higher than quote and only option was to compromise repair areas.
